Hi all!

My wife is filing the I-864 these days. She has definitely not enough income, so my dad in law will be my co-sponsor.

I just need a confirmation that I am calculating right:

The household of my dad in law is 4 (himself, his wife, the little sister of my wife + MYSELF). The poverty guidelines says for a household size of 4 = USD 20,650. But he would need 125% of that, right? That would be USD 25,812.50.

I am right?

What about all this "multiplied by 3 or 5 times" etc? Is that just for assets? I am sure his income would easily meet the above mentioned 25k! Do we need more? Do I need to multiply it by 5 times (USD 129,062.50?!?!?!)???

Please help! Thank you in advance!

Cheers,

Oban

I don't know the numbers but, yes, you're right with the calculation of household size -- adding only yourself to the existing household members. And yes, he needs to show income at 125% of the guideline.

What about all this "multiplied by 3 or 5 times" etc? Is that just for assets? I am sure his income would easily meet the above mentioned 25k! Do we need more? Do I need to multiply it by 5 times (USD 129,062.50?!?!?!)???

The 3x (or 5x) multiplier is only for assets. You don't need to report assets at all if the income is sufficient.

Sounds like you've got it all under control. Good luck.
